Forecasts

Abound (3/1), Stoneywood (10/3), Pivotal Role (9/2), His Lordship (5/1), Saketini (7/1), Caroline Island (15/2), Fifty Ways (10/1), Kia Kaha (10/1), Rock Of Bismantova (16/1)

STONEYWOOD's recent form just about edges this but will need to be firing on all cylinders in what is a competitive contest. Pivotal Role may be the best bet to follow the selection home, while Abound edges things for third.
